This project could not be easier! The hardest step was choosing which photos to print. We started by peeling off the paper from the backs of each Polaroid photo, exposing the sticky side. With the sticky-back, there's no need to worry about tape or messy glue sticks. You simply peel off the paper and stick the ribbon on the top of the photo in the center. Easy peasy!

Next, we cut 2x3" pieces of festive paper to cover the entire back of the photo. We used glittery black cardstock, but feel free to use any color/type of paper that fits your NYE theme. The goal is to hide the balloon ribbon. If you want to get really fancy (and couldn't bear to pick and choose which pictures to print) you can stick two Polaroid photos back-to-back!

Then we used a portable helium tank to inflate the balloons. Once the balloon is inflated, we tied our pre-made photo-fied ribbon to the end. And ta-da! Personalized Polaroid photo balloons, showing off your favorite memories from 2018. The perfect decoration for any NYE party.
